During World War II, German medics used tags to indicate the condition of an injured or treated soldier. These tags were essential for documenting medical conditions and ensuring continuity of care in chaotic battlefield environments.
-
Injured Soldiers: Tags specified the nature of wounds, treatments provided (e.g., dressings, tourniquets, or morphine), and instructions for evacuation or further care.
-
Internally Ill: For soldiers suffering from illnesses unrelated to combat, tags noted diagnoses and any quarantine or specialized treatment requirements.
-
Chemical Warfare Casualties: Special tags identified soldiers exposed to chemical agents, documenting symptoms, decontamination measures, and antidotes administered.
-
Delousing: Tags marked soldiers who had undergone delousing procedures, ensuring they were free from lice or other parasites before rejoining their units.
These paper tags provided a standardized system for triage, hygiene, and medical tracking, vital for maintaining order and care in the Wehrmacht’s medical operations.
